I just hope we never reach such a stage where the only people ever willing to help anyone are harmful ideologies and their supporters. I hope that human empathy and a decent socialist state would be enough.
What is clear, though, is that religion is harmful, feeding the poor is good, and you can do one without the other and so should ideally aim for that. On that we can agree, at least, yes?
When presented with hypotheticals, the respondent is not generally permitted to add provisos of his own. Once more:
If ONLY religions organizations were allowed to feed the hungry, would you support letting poor people starve to death?
